Reporting capabilities improve compliance and flexibility exceeds expectations
The mainframe need improvement. Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage. Several people have suggested it as an improvement. One feature I would like to see in the tool is the ability to handle everything in one place. If not, it is what it is.
SunilPanigrahi - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"So the solution has a really great licensing module, and they're constantly keeping up with the newest trends."
"The best thing about FlexNet Manager for my clients is its strong grip on managing licenses and ensuring they stick to their contracts."
"I like the way that Flexera connects our contracts to our purchases."
"I recommend it highly."
"I like the way it does its compliance. I like its discovery, and I like the fact that it keeps separate hardware and assets and provides easy accessibility to raw data."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
 

Cons

"They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it."
"There is room for improvement in the purchasing module. There are things I would change in that. Also, the automation components, like having the contracts, scheduling, and notifications embedded into the application, which they've been promising to do since 2014."
"Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage."
"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."
"The hardware and connectors in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The mainframe need improvement."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was certainly on a par with the price we were paying for Snow License Manager. It wasn't overly expensive."
"I can say that from a price perspective, you can go for FlexNet Manager if you have a very small environment."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
